Wikipedia 2: Citizendium

There are many people that have been less than impress with Wikipedia. It is just a fact of life, and people have slowly moved on, but now people are going to have a choice as a new site is being created to appeal to those worried about the content added and removed to a Wiki like site.

Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger has announced that his new knowledge sharing wiki project called Citizendium will launch at the end of this month or earlier. The defining characteristic of the site is that topic experts will have final, enforceable authority to “resolve” controversy and kick out trolls. Citizendium will be a progressive fork of Wikipedia, allowing its own community to change Wikipedia articles but also offering Wikipedia’s version of those that haven’t been edited in Citizendium. Sanger says the topic experts will function like village elders or college professors - they’ll simply make the wiki a civilized place.
